Medical Uses Of Common Salt.

The power of the soda used in cooking
to relieve the pain of burns is now exten-
sively known. Its usefulness is enhanced
by its being so common as to be usually
within reach. Somewhat akin to this is
the efficacy of table salt in certain forms
of inflammation. 1t is a remedy that
finds place in nearly all countries and
households.
But the very fact that these articles are
so familiar in domestic use makes it diff
cult to regard them as powerful reme-
dies. 1t would be quite otherwise if they
were rare, and could be obtained only Of
the druggist. 1t may not be amiss, there
fore, to refer to what is marvellous in
their chemical composition.
The base, or fundamental element, in
each is the same,-a most wonderful
metal which burns with an intense flame
when heated to temperature twenty
two degrees less than that of boiling
water This metal is sodium. Combine
it in the proper proportion with carbonic
acid, gas thrown off from burning
coal,-and soda" or, more properly,
bicarbonate of soda, is produced. Let
it combine with chlorine, which forms,
in chemical union with lime, one of our
most powerful disinfectants, and we have
the familiar salt of our tables.
1t should be impressed on the minds of
our readers that there is the highest
medical authority for the statement that
there is nothing better than common salt
for any ordinary inflammation of the
throat mouth, or nasal passages. Dis
solve dessert spoonful in a coffee cup,
and gargle the solution, or snuff it up
the nose until it comes out into the back
mouth. Repeat two or three times
day until cured.
DIR. Thackery, of Philadelphia, has
found that salt is effective in the most
violent attacks of erysipelas, and, more
over, leaves no unsightly scars behind.
He uses saturated solution that is as
strongas it can be made, and simply keeps
the parts covered with cloth wet with
it. At the same time he cools the system
with dose of EPSON salts, mixed with
lemon juice, and orders light farina-
ceous diet.
As erysipelas is sudden in its attacks,
and so speedy in its action, those located
ata distance from doctors, would do well
to make special note of this Youths
Companion.

The Best Time to Battle.

It's best to bathe just before going to
bed, as any danger of catching cold is
thus avoided, and the complexion is i'm
proved 10y keeping warm for several hours
after leaving the bath. A couple Of
pounds of bran put into thin bag and
then in the bath tub is excellent for
softening the skin 1t should be left to
soak in small quantity of water several
hours before being used. The internal
aids to clear complexion are most of
them well known, and the present season
is the best for thorough cleansing and
purifying of the blood. The old fash
Toned remedy of sulphur and molasses is
considered among the best. Charcoal
powdered and taken with water is said
to be excellent, but is most difficult 10
take. A strictly vegetable and fruit diet
is followed by many for one or two weeks.

MILITARY NFALLIBILITY.
Strange Significance Of the Sunset
Gun.

A contemporary thinks that the re-
cent order of the Secretary of War for
discontinuing the firing of the sunrise
and sunset guns at Governors Island
and other military stations is hard on
the army, as it forces the men to con-
suit the almanac to ascertain when the
sun rises and sets.
This recalls good story that is told
Of the late Colonel Robert N. Scott,
who died recently, leaving unfinished
his important work of editing the War
Records. After the war he was station
ed at some small fort in New York State
over garrison of less than twenty men,
and there was very little work to be
done other than performing the mill
tary ceremonies and keeping up the
garrison farm and garden.
An amateur astronomer tn the vicinity
took considerable interest in timing the
morning and evening guns, and became
seriously disturbed when their irregu-
larity caused his chronometer to appear
to vary. He had too much respect foi
the military regulations, which said the
gnn should 60 off exactly with the sun,
to doubt that error was at the fort. He
made the calculations for that meridian
and found his chronometer correct. But
his respect for the government out
weighed even his reliance on his figures
so he sent his figures for verification to
the Dudley Observatory at Albany.
On getting them back with the Oh
servatOry endorsement of their correct
ness he was startled and shocked, and
saw no way but to lay the facts before the
Commandant at the fort. Colonel Scott
received him with affable dignity, and
listened to his tale of perplexity. Hav-
ing heard him through, the Colonel
said:
"My dear sir, think I can enlighten
you on this matter. The man that fires
that gun is the ordnance sergeant. He
is also the orderly sergeant, Quarter
master sergeant, sergeant major and
hospital steward, and he likewise milks
my COW. Now, his orders are to fire
that gun as soon as he has MIXED my
COW, and while there may be some un-
certainty about your timing the sunrise
and sunset by the report of that gun,
you may feel mighty tolerably sure that
my COW has been milked!"

This Was War.

Gen. Averill, of the U. S. Army, says
that during the war President Lincoln
visited his camp and he showed him
some of Gen. Lees unique notes that the
Yonker General had received. "Can it
be possible" queried Lincoln, "that
YOU and Lee are friends Now what
would you do if you should meet on the
fieldf" "One or the other would surely
be hurt, for he, no doubt, thinks he is
doing his duty, and know that / am. =
was the calm reply. Lincoln rioined:
"Oh, the iniquity of this horrid war,
that causes such friends to fight in dead
" strife!" The lecture closed with a
brilliant panegyric npon the martyred
p,csidens.

A Clergyman's Ruse.

A good, true story, now current in
New York, tells how yonng assistant
minister of Fifth avenue church has
made his way rapidly into great social
favor He did it by making the inhuen-
tlal ladies of his congregation believe
that they were responsible for the best
points in the sermons. In making a
pastoral call, and when the conversation
turned on religious topics, he would pick
out some utterance af his hostess, declare
1t admirable, and promise to use on the
next Sunday. On that occasion she
would proudly hear him introduce an
embellishcd form of the conceit with
such an introduction as. Zone of the

three-quarter Lewis had put Montrose in
the lead, as if it was his purpose to
repeat his Louisville tactics jim Gore
pushed him closely, with Poteen in the
third place, and Libretto and Bixby
in their same order. As they neared the
end of the first mile, Montrose seemed to
be drawing away from the field, but before
the end of the mile Jim Gore gained upon
him, and as they started upon the last half
mile thousands of shouts proclaimed it
Cores victory. He passed Montrose and
the favOrite's colors went down But an
other competitor was now to be found in
the field. Libretto moved up with appar-
ent ease, under the guidance of Murphy,
and as though without an effort he led
down the stretch, jim Gore following and
losing distance, though under punishment
Montrose was so bad third that he was
not even whipped. Poteen and Bixley

was enjoyed by a large number
